FAQ

What is Bitcoin Secured Infrastructure (BSI)?

Bitcoin Secured Infrastructure (BSI) is a solution from Asphere (Ankr’s enterprise arm) for building and securing custom Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains and services using Bitcoin's security. Through BSI, developers can harness Bitcoin's decentralized security to protect various blockchain networks, leveraging staked BTC for enhanced safety and trust.

How does BSI leverage Bitcoin for security?

BSI integrates with the Babylon Bitcoin staking protocol, a Cosmos-based blockchain network that allows Bitcoin holders to stake their BTC to secure other Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains. This “shared security” model enables BSI-supported networks to benefit from Bitcoin’s $1 trillion market cap, creating a robust security foundation without requiring native staking tokens.

What are the key components of BSI?

  • BTC Staking: Enables Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure PoS networks and earn rewards.
  • Bitcoin Timestamping: BSI leverages the Bitcoin blockchain to anchor critical blockchain data, strengthening network integrity and protection against attacks.

What types of blockchain networks and services can BSI secure?

BSI can secure a wide variety of blockchain services, including:
  • Layer 1 and Layer 2 Blockchains: Enhance security across ecosystems like Cosmos, Ethereum, and more.
  • Sequencers: Support for sequencer networks, such as those on L2 protocols.
  • Data Storage and Oracles: Secure data storage solutions like Filecoin and oracle services like Chainlink.
  • DePIN & IoT Networks: Protects decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN) and IoT networks with Bitcoin-based security.

Why choose Asphere to build Bitcoin Secured Infrastructure?

Asphere offers a complete suite of services, from custom blockchain creation to ongoing network maintenance. Additionally, Asphere’s modular scaling stack integrates with leading technologies such as Babylon, Cosmos SDK, and ZKStack, making it a trusted choice for developers who seek robust and scalable Bitcoin-backed infrastructure.

What advantages does Bitcoin Secured Infrastructure provide?

BSI offers:
  • Enhanced Security: BTC-backed security reduces attack vectors and centralization risks.
  • Fast Transaction Finality: Ideal for applications requiring high-speed transactions, like DeFi and gaming.
  • Broader BTC Holder Participation: Allows BTC holders to validate and secure multiple chains, earning yields while enhancing network security.

What tools and integrations does BSI use?

  • Cosmos SDK: A modular toolkit that allows for the creation of independent and interoperable blockchains.
  • IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication) Protocol: Facilitates seamless communication and value transfer between chains.
  • Babylon BTC Staking Protocol: Empowers BTC holders to stake and “restake” BTC across PoS networks, creating layered security.

Which projects are currently building on Bitcoin Secured Infrastructure?

Networks within the Cosmos ecosystem are actively adopting BSI, and we will announce these new blockchain initiatives that prioritize high security and interoperability as they are publicly launched.

How does Bitcoin Timestamping work in BSI?

Bitcoin Timestamping allows data from BSI networks to be anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain, adding a tamper-resistant timestamp to transactions. This strengthens the chain’s defense against vulnerabilities and enhances data integrity across PoS networks.

How can developers get started with BSI?

Developers can begin building on BSI by reaching out to Asphere for a customized solution. Asphere offers resources and guidance throughout the entire process, from network creation to modular scaling and security integrations, ensuring a comprehensive support experience.
